Sedges of the World

Welcome to Sedges of the World, the Cyperaceae community resource

This website is a collaborative Virtual Research Environment built by and for Cyperaceae taxonomists, floristicians, ecologists, and botanists of all stripes. It was commenced in September 2011, with funding from BioSynC (the synthesis arm of Encyclopedia of Life) and in collaboration with eMonocot and ViBRANT / Scratchpads. The site is a portal to authoritative Cyperaceae data and a resource for collaboration among the Cyperaceae-interested.
